A new approach to odor and pH control in medical and hygiene care applications relies on a treatment of absorbent fluff with selected enzyme inhibitors. Cellulose fiber was found to be a convenient carrier for some chemicals which modify the structure of an enzyme and/or block its active site. In an absorbent system exposed for example to body liquids containing urea, selected substances, when ...

seedlings of five canola genotypes (hyola308, hyola401, hyola60, optlon50, and rgs003), were grown in hoagland nutrient solution containing s1=0, s2=100, s3=200 and s4=300 mm nacl in controlled environment. such antioxidant activities as catalase (cat), ascobrate peroxidase (apx) and guaiacol peroxidase (gpx), as well as osmolyte concentration (proline), chlorophyll fluorescence and some enzyme...

Abstract Disposal of used diapers causes environmental pollution problems. Bank Sampah Bersinar, which is located in Bale Endah, Kabupaten Bandung, West Java Province, Indonesia, has made an effort to recycle and been operating since 2021 with a capacity around 5 tonnes per month. The process started by shredding the separating plastic fraction. fibre super absorbent polymer (SAP) slurry are th...

Thermal annealing of the emissive layer of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a common practice for solution processable emissive layers and reported annealing temperatures varies across a wide range of temperatures. We have investigated the influence of thermal annealing of the emissive layer at different temperatures on the performance of OLEDs. Solution processed polymer Super Yellow ...

to study the effects of zabol wastewater treated with two kinds of fertilizer (manure and chemical fertilizer) application vs use of ordinary water on grain yield and yield components in corn (kosc704) a field experiment was conducted at the university of zabol, iran during 2007 growing season. the statistical plan selected was a split plot one of three replications. the treatments were compris...

Recent developments in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) investigations on polymer gels are reviewed by encompassing (i) volume phase transition and microphase separation, (ii) inhomogeneities in polymer gels, (iii) pressure dependence of hydrophobic interaction and (iv) structural characterization of super-tough gels. These developments owe much to the understanding of gel inhomogeneities ...

We consider the multidirectional swelling and drying of hydrogels formed from super-absorbent polymers water, focusing on elastic deformation caused by differential swelling. By modelling as instantaneously incompressible, linear-elastic materials considering situations in which there can be large isotropic strains (arising swelling) while deviatoric remain small, it is possible to describe acc...
